Hey all,

I find that when I finish my vomit draft, I feel fine about things until I sit down to revisit. Then, I face a series of scenes where the narrator tries to go from point A to B to C, without really living in point A, or B, or C.

Typically, when I see posts around showing and not telling, it's at the sentence level. Like, instead of saying, "I felt sad and wanted to give up," you say, "I didn't even care about the rain drenching my sweater. I meandered through the alleys, chilled and alone with my thoughts."

But what about larger scale telling? How do you fix that? My first-person narrator has a habit of just recounting the tale rather than living in the rich world and I feel stuck.
